Looking at his backloggery I notice a lot of similarities with my own. I'm going to finish those games now. Seeing that signature with the comments is really depressing and man, someone has to finish what he started.
So, I've done an outline of a picture for Kiri, someone suggested putting Gabe and Tycho in it, too, but they didn't look right. Someone else suggested putting them at the top of the picture, just in a strip. What do people think? I've only done the pencil outline, so I can change it, and just put more GTA IV images in.
I have a tendency to get jailed a lot when I post in G&T, since most of what I say is sarcastic, so I can't really say that I knew him well, but going through some of his old posts has honestly made me teary-eyed. My condolences to you and his family.

To be fair, it'd needs more penises to be accurate, but that might be inappropriate considering the subject matter.
As for art: I'd avoid Sephiroth or Kefka...I don't think you really want Resident0/Mike to be remembered with an art piece, no matter how beautiful, that includes two psychos who tried to destroy the earth. Rinoa is much more appropriate, as if I recall FF8, she too was a victim of unfortunate circumstances.
My condolences to you and your/his family, Mrs.Resident.
EDIT: and the only art ideas I have all involve games he didn't seem to play, like Pokemon ("PENNY ARCADE used Honor Memory! It's super effective! Resident0 was remembered fondly!") and such.

I haven't read the thread beyond first couple of posts after the OP so bear with me if this has been covered already.
I'm being one hundred percent serious when I say this, I'm not trying to make an off-color joke or anything but I honestly think that his location tag should be changed. As of now it evokes thoughts of horrible irony that I'd think would be best changed to "Better place" or something along those lines so that no jerk off could make a bad joke were they to notice.
Also sympathy and condolences and the such. Never good to see a regular go, especially in such a manner.

I agree with you so i have finally managed to change it, it's obvious mike was the technology wiz in our relationship since its taken me about 3 hours to find how to do it!
Oh man, I've not really been around recently so I've missed this thread.
My condolences and best wishes. My thoughts are with Resident0.
Aside: I think the computer gen really changes something significant about death. All these spindly webs of contact we pass out around the world which keep effecting people as the stumble across them whilst googling. I find that reassuring actually. It's strange. I mean if I died today, my blog would stay up with no one to deactivate it, and it would keep posting to itself for a good three weeks or so. It's very strange times. Maybe I should leave my passwords to forums, blogs and sites and stuff somewhere so if needed my next of kin could let the 'electronic people' know...
I didn't notice this thread until now, and now I've been 'ing for the last five minutes, reading the whole thing.
It sucks so much when this happens. I have to agree with whoever said he was lucky to have someone like you who would think to post on the forum should anything happen to him, god knows no one i know would do the same should something happen to me.
God, it's always so surreal when I hear the news of someone's passing, regardless of if I knew them personally or not. I know how hard it is to lose somebody close to you and I give you my condolences.
It looks great, it's definately going to have pride of place on our bedroom wall!!
And i just want to thank everyone for their sympathy ad support, it really does mean a lot and it's great to know mike reached so many people, even if he couldnt always get out and meet them.
They don't look right - the shading on them - I've tried to copy the picture exactly, including matching the colours and shadows, but they don't look as realistic as I'd like them to be. I've not painted in this style before, the backgrounds are ok, but the faces just don't look right. I'd appreciate any ideas you have, I'm not at all precious about what I paint, I'm very aware of my limitations, and think I've prbably reached them with this - I'm putting off adding the picture of Kiri and Mike, cos I'm anxious about it.

Hmm...It might be inappropriate, given the purpose of this, but perhaps either making the faces a little more cartoony, or a little more photorealistic, would help. As it is, the faces look out of proportion with the heads.
Oh man, it sucks to hear what happened, but it does redeem my faith in the fact that compassion and humanity still exist in this world. For people to reach out like they have over the web to someone they have most likely never met really shows that love is truly blind. You all have my most sincere respect and my most well of wishes for you and yours.
Just wanted to let you all know, mikes family and i will be setting up a charity over the summer to raise money to but games consoles for a hospital where mike was treated for many years, if anyone would like details just let me know

My condolences. I'm no artist, so that's all I have.
Man, reading stuff like that...
It's heartbreaking and reminds me of an article about how technology has changed the way we view death. It was interesting when I first read it, but it hadn't really hit home until now.
